“Dear leaders: Well, we have an important 'reeducation' need relative to our development and stewardship. All of us have become habituated to referring to the Rushmore Conference room as '114'. Lorraine recently reminded me of the major donor stewardship problem this creates: "[the Rushmores] paid $250,000 for the privilege of having their name on it. ".

We have to begin immediately to retrain everyone to refer to this as the Rushmore Conference room. I am asking that we begin with ourselves. Please make every effort to refer to the room by its name. I think we can all readily grasp the problems it creates when we don't.

Please ask your staff and faculty to use the correct name for this room as well.
